Since the U.K. does not recognize membership of the Mafia as a crime, it has at various points in history become a safe haven for lieutenants, soldiers and hit men, who have hidden in locations all over the country.<\/p>\n<p>In the new five-part series, Kemp will begin his journey in London, taking viewers back to 1982, when the body of \u201cGod\u2019s Banker,\u201d Roberto Calvi, was discovered under Blackfriars Bridge with his pockets stuffed full of foreign currency from around the world. From there, Kemp will travel to New York, Italy, Colombia and Spain before returning to London to reveal the path of the Mafia\u2019s involvement with Britain over the last 100 years.<\/p>\n<p>Throughout his travels, Kemp will speak with those closest to Mafia bosses, top organized crime investigators and some who have been affected by the Mafia\u2019s crimes. He will use this knowledge to trace the complex network of money, drugs and criminals in and out of the U.K. and create a historical map and timeline.<\/p>\n<p>The series is set to air on Sky HISTORY in 2024.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m looking forward to taking viewers into unchartered territory as we discover the relationship between Britain and one of the most notorious organized crime groups in the world, the Mafia,\u201d Kemp said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI couldn\u2019t think of anyone more qualified than Ross to expose Britain\u2019s secret links to the Mafia,\u201d said Dan Korn, VP of programming at A+E Networks EMEA. \u201cThe series lifts the lid on the U.K.\u2019s shocking connection to one of the world\u2019s most mysterious and notorious crime families.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Ed Taylor, executive producer, added, \u201cWe are delighted to be partnering with Ross, A+E Networks and GroupM Motion Entertainment once again. The history of Britain\u2019s relationship with the Mafia has never been fully explored before. It\u2019s a highly compelling story that both shocks and surprises.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A+E Networks EMEA has ordered Ross Kemp: Mafia and Britain (w.t.) from Honey Bee, Freshwater Films and GroupM Motion Entertainment for Sky HISTORY.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1412,"featured_media":20397,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[69],"tags":[4405,6611,8631,7918,8632,8633,1618,8634,4712],"class_list":["post-20396","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-top-stories","tag-ae-networks-emea","tag-dan-korn","tag-ed-taylor","tag-freshwater-films","tag-groupm-motion-entertainment","tag-honey-bee","tag-ross-kemp","tag-ross-kemp-mafia-and-britain","tag-sky-history","pmpro-has-access"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>A+E Networks Commissions New Ross Kemp Investigative Series - TVREAL<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/ae-networks-commissions-new-ross-kemp-investigative-series\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"A+E Networks Commissions New Ross Kemp Investigative Series - TVREAL\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"A+E Networks EMEA has ordered Ross Kemp: Mafia and Britain (w.t.) from Honey Bee, Freshwater Films and GroupM Motion Entertainment for Sky HISTORY.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/ae-networks-commissions-new-ross-kemp-investigative-series\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"TVREAL\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2023-11-08T15:24:54+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2023-11-08T16:50:35+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2017\/07\/AENetworksEMEA-RossKempMafiaandBritain-1123.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"600\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"400\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Jamie Stalcup\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Jamie Stalcup\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"2 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/ae-networks-commissions-new-ross-kemp-investigative-series\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/ae-networks-commissions-new-ross-kemp-investigative-series\/\",\"name\":\"A+E Networks Commissions New Ross Kemp Investigative Series - TVREAL\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/#website\"},\"datePublished\":\"2023-11-08T15:24:54+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2023-11-08T16:50:35+00:00\",\"author\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/#\/schema\/person\/0da12602224807cc7b179b8405018deb\"},\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/ae-networks-commissions-new-ross-kemp-investigative-series\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/ae-networks-commissions-new-ross-kemp-investigative-series\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"BreadcrumbList\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/ae-networks-commissions-new-ross-kemp-investigative-series\/#breadcrumb\",\"itemListElement\":[{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":1,\"name\":\"Home\",\"item\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":2,\"name\":\"A+E Networks Commissions New Ross Kemp Investigative Series\"}]},{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/\",\"name\":\"TVREAL\",\"description\":\"\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"SearchAction\",\"target\":{\"@type\":\"EntryPoint\",\"urlTemplate\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/?s={search_term_string}\"},\"query-input\":\"required name=search_term_string\"}],\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\"},{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/#\/schema\/person\/0da12602224807cc7b179b8405018deb\",\"name\":\"Jamie Stalcup\",\"description\":\"Jamie Stalcup is the executive editor of World Screen.
